ARP make fasteners/studs/bolts for a living, they don't make rubbish, but it is rubbish to think that a stud is ever going to be strong enough to break a block, if the block were that weak just starting it up would blow it apart with compression.
Idiots who try to force studs, bolts into holes are the likely cause of block cracking, some don't even tap the holes to get congealed oil/crap out before rebuilds.
